Kaleido

Anthropo

Scopes

Ceramic and terracotta vases

The toy kaleidoscope was invented around 1817 by Sir David Brewster. He took the name for his ever-changing picture tube from the Greek words kalos, "beautiful," combined with eidos, "shape", while "scope" comes from verb skopein, "to look," which can be found in many words referring to looking, including "telescope" and "microscope."

Anthrop- is a word-forming element meaning "pertaining to man or human beings," from the Greek anthrōpos, "man/human being".

I used the vase as a symbol of the human being and pierced it to show the wounds that all of us carry.

Peeping into the vase, its limited space becomes the infinite human inner universe, with its mysteries and treasures.

The spiritual human world is as infinite as the universe, and the darkness is full of light.
